Because the actress who played Le Li was replaced by Zhao Yixuan, the matter of Wei Shu adding more scenes had to be dropped. However, she felt that she had lost face in front of so many people that day. She had originally maintained some superficial politeness towards Yan Luo, but now she simply broke off relations with him.
However, after they had a falling out, she became the one having a hard time on the crew.
Not to mention that the other leading actors were already close to her, as for the majority of the staff, they were still polite to her, but she could still feel that they were not sincere, and this kind of atmosphere also affected her normal performance.
There were many mistakes during the filming, and a simple scene had to be NGed several times. The weather was originally hot, and they were filming a fantasy drama. The directors who were intimidating them were sweating even in their thin T-shirts, not to mention the actors who were wearing layers of clothes and acting opposite her.
If her attitude was better, maybe everyone wouldn't be so upset.
The problem is, she's even more upset than those she's implicated.
Xie Zhun had the most scenes with her. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and after being NGed again, he said coldly: "Teacher Wei, instead of adding scenes to yourself, you might as well hone your acting skills."
Zhao Yixuan was already feeling dizzy, and was frozen on the spot by Xie Zhun's words.
The sweaty staff around him widened their eyes at this sentence and dared not breathe.
Ying Yanluo and Director Shang exchanged a glance. She subconsciously stood up from behind the monitor and said, "The weather is too hot. Let's all take a break. Xiao Fu, go get Teacher Wei a bottle of water."
Xiao Fu was Wei Shu's assistant. She was also a little frightened just now. She reacted quickly after hearing the sound and realized that she was a little slow. She quickly took the water, unscrewed it and handed it to Wei Shu, whispering, "Sister Shu, would you like some water?"
Wei Shu looked at the water she handed over, and suddenly waved it away. The opened mineral water bottle fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere, even onto Xie Zhun's costume. Xie Zhun's face instantly sank again, and Ah Xiu quickly wiped it with a tissue.
Wei Shu suddenly exploded, "Master Ying is really a good person. Does my assistant need your help?"
Ying Yanluo was stunned for a moment and opened her lips.
Zhao Ranran was so angry that she wanted to hit her with the mineral water at hand, but reason held her back.
Xie Zhun pushed away Ah Xiu who was wiping the water stains off his costume and said, "Teacher Wei, do you know what it means to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs with kindness? I'm talking about people like Teacher Wei."
Wei Shu's eyes turned red with anger, "Xie Zhun, do you like Master Ying? Why are you on her side? Well, in this crew, who can't see that you have a good relationship with her?" She suddenly smiled again, "It's not that you like her, but there is a hidden person in her room..."
What is hidden
"Wei Shu!"
The business director who had been trying to be tolerant finally interrupted her and said, "Is it because the sun is too hot today that you are dizzy? After so many years in the industry, don't you know what it means to be cautious in what you say and do?"
Others didn't know, but several people in the director group had been with her day and night for such a long time, they knew long ago that Ying Yanluo was married. The man Wei Su was talking about should be Ying Yanluo's legal husband. How could they allow her to say such ugly things.
Ying Yanluo's usually calm face was filled with anger for the first time. She looked at Wei Shu coldly, "Teacher Wei, you shouldn't get involved in personal issues when you're working, especially when it's someone else's private affairs. Maybe it's just like what Director Shang said, the sun was too hot and I lost my head, so please apologize to me and my husband now, Teacher Wei."
Wei Shu also reacted at this time and realized what he had said.
gentlemen
Ying Yanluo is married
The staff were also confused. When did Master Ying get married
Wei Shu is the most popular actress in Rongguang, and she is praised by everyone wherever she goes. Even if she was wrong, how could she apologize? And apologize in front of the whole crew under such circumstances
"They are obviously a legal couple, and it's just a husband visiting his wife on set, so why did Teacher Wei say such harsh things about it? It seems like it's just a matter of personal opinion, right?" Zhao Yixuan didn't know when this came to her mind.
Zhao Yixuan's words made Wei Shu's chest rise and fall in anger. It felt like someone had stepped on his sore spot. "Zhao Yixuan! You!"
"Why is Teacher Wei so angry? I think he is just giving someone a taste of his own medicine. Teacher Wei should just be upright and not be afraid of his own shadow."
Zhao Yixuan's two extremely hurtful words directly made Wei Shu so angry that she didn't even take off her makeup and went on strike!
Director Shang didn't want to care about whether Wei Shu was on strike or not. He patted Ying Yanluo on the shoulder and said, "Yanluo, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Ying Yanluo shook her head and said, "Director, I'm fine."
"Director, Teacher Wei and the others have driven away!" a staff member shouted.
"I just heard her tell her assistant that she didn't want to shoot anymore and wanted to book a ticket back to Beijing."
"… "
"What's going on?"
"It's really speechless."
At this time, the staff around her really couldn't help but express their dissatisfaction with her.
Zhao Yixuan quietly moved to Ying Yanluo's side and said, "I won't apologize." She hesitated for a moment, "But if you ask me to apologize, then I will..."
Ying Yanluo glanced at her, shook her head, and then said to Assistant Director Zhao beside her: "Director Zhao, call her. If she strikes, it will be considered a breach of contract."
Xie Zhun also said: "Director Shang, I feel that I can no longer cooperate with her. I will tell my agent the truth about this matter."
Xie Zhun's agent is the right-hand man of the boss of Yuyi Entertainment, so his agent is definitely on his side. Yuyi Entertainment is an old company, and although Xie Zhun is not the top star in it, he is indeed the most popular one, and the company treats him no differently from the top star.
Assistant Director Zhao looked at Director Shang, who nodded at him.
Wei Shu didn't answer the phone. When I called a few more times, her phone was turned off.
The crew also got the news soon, and Wei Shu had indeed booked a flight back to Beijing.
Zhao Ranran looked at the crew whose morale was unsettled at the moment. The pent-up anger in her chest lingered for a long time. She walked away holding her cell phone.
…
After Xie Zhun's agent Cai Ming found out about this, he went straight upstairs to talk to Mr. Qin from Entertainment Arts about this. The film and television copyright of "Penglai" was in their Entertainment Arts, and they were co-producing it with Rongguang, who invested 35%. In fact, if Xie Zhun hadn't come forward, Mr. Qin would have been inclined to reconcile.
But Xie Zhun has now made his attitude clear, and Yuyi still relies on Xie Zhun, so they thought of a compromise and asked Rongguang to replace him. After all, the new person is still a Rongguang person, so they don't have to resort to withdrawing investment and can appease Xie Zhun.
Unfortunately, before they communicated this plan with Rongguang, they received a phone call.
His special assistant saw that he looked a little strange after hanging up the phone, so he asked, "Boss Qin, what happened?"
President Qin glanced at his special assistant and said, "The Su Group has expressed its intention to invest in Penglai."
"Su Group wants to invest in us? That's a good thing!"
"But do you know what the requirements are over there?"
The special assistant had a hunch that something was not right, and he shook his head.
"Terminate the cooperation with Rongguang and let the two of us produce it together."
Between Rongguang and Su Group, everyone knows who to choose.
"Mr. Su..." Xiao Wei hesitated.
Su Weichu looked up at him and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
"Capital injection is such a big matter, you still need to discuss it with other senior executives first." Although their attitudes have been made clear, he is still a little worried. After all, it is not a small amount.
Su Weichu restrained his expression and said, "I know whether the value of Penglai's project is worth it or not. We don't need to prove it. What's more, the male lead promoted by Yuyi is Xie Zhun. He brings his own franchisees into the group, and the ratings of the TV series are also guaranteed. Now let the people in the film and television department do a value assessment study on Penglai, and notify them to hold a high-level meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and call the heads of the company's film and television department and investment department together."
Xiao Wei nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
After Wei Su's agent learned from the assistant that she had gone on strike and returned to Beijing, he was so angry that he called the assistant directly and asked Wei Su to answer the phone and curse at him. Wei Su was already angry, and now she was being cursed by her agent, so she followed suit.
"Anyway, I won't go back unless Ying Yanluo apologizes to me."
"It's impossible for you to ask her to apologize, and you don't have to go back."
Wei Shu was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, "Sister Chi, what do you mean?"
"It means that Yuyi has ended the cooperation with our company because we breached the contract."
Wei Su didn't believe it at all. She was aware of her own importance. At most, she would ask Rongguang to put some pressure on her and give her a way out, and then she would go back to filming. She didn't even think that Yuyi could replace Ying Yanluo. Besides, how could the 100 million cooperation between Yuyi and Rongguang end just because she said it would
"Sister Chi..."
"Okay, don't say anything. Since you're back, let's talk about it when you come back." After saying that, Chi Yue hung up the phone.
It has been two days since Wei Su went on strike and returned to Beijing. Because of director Shang's severe reprimand, the outside world has not yet known that Wei Su is not in Hengdian. The crew is also trying their best to shoot other actors' scenes first, and the scenes dedicated to the heroine are burning up funds every day, but they have no choice. Entertainment just asked them to keep the news secret first.
Not to mention the anxiety on the Penglai side, the three companies in Beijing were not idle either.
Take Yuyi and Rongguang for example. After Yuyi communicated with them, they thought that at worst their company would just replace someone else to continue filming. But they never expected that Yuyi's attitude would be so firm and they would directly terminate the cooperation with them on the grounds of breach of contract.
It was not the first time that Mr. Qin from Yuyi and Mr. Xu from Rongguang had worked together. Rongguang had obviously realized something, so he invited Mr. Qin to dinner privately.
After drinking for half a round, Rong Guang's boss finally asked him, "Brother, given our friendship, there's really no need to make such a fuss over a celebrity. Tell me the truth, what's going on?"
President Qin raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. "Do you know about the Su Group?"
"Aren't you slandering me? How could you not know?"
"Your artist has been offended."
Rong Guang was a little confused, "How could it be?"
Mr. Qin sighed and stopped talking.
Rong Guang was a little panicked at this time. How could Wei Shu offend the Su Group and even cause
“What should we do now?” In fact, Rong Guang really thinks highly of the “Penglai” project, otherwise he would not have invested so much money into it.
President Qin was also a smart man. He carefully pondered the conversation between President Su and him that day. In fact, he felt that the other party was more inclined to replace Wei Su and co-produce "Penglai". In fact, if Rongguang invested as an investor, they should not refuse. After all, it is better to refuse a free investment. He thought about it again and again and suggested: "Or, you can withdraw the people but not the investment."
“Withdraw personnel but not investment?”
President Qin said "hmm" and explained to him clearly, "If not, you can only be an investor, and because of Su's capital injection, your investment ratio will be reduced, but Penglai's comeback is a foregone conclusion, and we don't have to worry about making money, right?"
Originally, they were aiming for the value assessment of "Penglai", thinking that if they produced it, they could make money and promote their own artists at the same time, but they didn't expect her to be so disappointing. Rongguang's boss also knew that this suggestion was the most beneficial to them.
After thinking it over, he took the initiative to fill Mr. Qin's glass with wine, which could be regarded as a consensus.
The Su Group's investment project on "Penglai" was successfully passed after two days of meeting and evaluation. This project was also the fastest one to pass among the many projects they have undertaken.
First of all, "Penglai" was originally a project with investment value. Secondly, Su Weichu's many years in Su's company gave them a sense of conviction. Although there were a few who were a little hesitant, they finally voted in favor.
So on the third day, Director Shang also received a call from President Qin. He was basically prepared for reconciliation, but a few seconds after answering the phone, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Boss Qin, are you serious?"
"Are you really not kidding?"
Ying Yanluo and the others listened and looked towards Director Shang at the same time.
“What about investment?”
"Okay, okay." As he said this, he glanced at Ying Yanluo and said, "I understand."
As soon as Director Shang hung up the phone, Assistant Director Zhao and others immediately started asking questions.
"Director, what did President Qin say?"
Director Shang glanced at them, then slowly said, "The cooperation between Yuyi and Rongguang has collapsed, so the female lead will be replaced."
"Fuck!" Assistant Director Zhao couldn't help but swear.
"Is this true? Director, you are not kidding us, right?"
"What the director said is not funny at all."
They were as shocked at this moment as he was before.
Director Shang said seriously: "Seriously, I'm not kidding."
"The heroine..."
Director Shang looked at Ying Yanluo and said, "Yuyi said that Yanluo should decide. You are the author of the original novel, and I believe you can find the most suitable Xuanli."
Ying Yanluo pointed at herself, "I'm determined?"
"Well, you decide."
The crew members were originally still worried about what to do with the later filming, but as soon as Director Shang gave a notice, everyone in the crew was stunned. No one expected that the second major change would come so soon. The cooperation between Yuyi and Rongguang collapsed, and all the previous filming by Wei Shu was invalidated. Yuyi even told them to suspend filming and choose a new heroine.
"No? Just replaced him directly?"
"This is the fastest crew change I've ever seen in a production."
"Amazing! The speed is just like riding a rocket, right?"
